I was a drug addict when I was younger, it even feels weird to type that because it's nothing I would do anymore. I always thought that the drugs were my problem when I quit. Years later, I became an alcoholic and it was worse than the drugs. I think you can take any substance over the top. Although I never did heroin or the opiates, so maybe I'd have a different opinion if I went through that. Watching the harrowing videos of addicts lately, the walking zombies, makes me feel so bad. It definitely does not look fun.
